It's a long-standing family joke that Millie won't go on holidays to any destination where she can't plug in her hair drier. So you can imagine my delight to discover that I can still enjoy the great outdoors but with all the deluxe comforts.

Welcome to the world of Glamping (Glamour+Camping)! 1,000 thread count sheets, soft pillows, room (oops tent!) service, luxury bathrooms & much more. For those of us non-purists who only want to sleep under five stars!

Now this is my idea of camping! Romantic, comfortable, and without lonely torch-light walks to a hole in the ground! I am thinking that a few days at one of these gorgeous places would be very relaxing.I love the term 'glamping' too! Might have to throw that into a conversation sometime soon.Clare

Millie - LOVE IT! except those "tents" are nicer than my actual home!! - Glamping is right up my 'alleyway' (as Emma would say) - My sister is curretnly on safari in Tanzania - something tells me it isn't as 'swish' as this - I remember hearing something about her pillow being her sleeping bag cover full of dirty clothes!?!? x

I can't believe I just did a small post on camping today and then came across this post - puts mine to shame. This is definately my idea of camping - hope we can do it in half as much style as these pictures. Tracey x

ABOUT ME

Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks.

With 3 sons, 2 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!

Mission Unbrown!

15 years of renovating was over - we'd just completed everything & were really enjoying our lovely old Victorian villa in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. However we'd always had a fondness for the country life & without warning we found ourselves transported by alien beings disguised as Real Estate Agents to a house on 1/2 acre of wild, rambling gardens in Stirling!

The house is circa 1972 & with all the 70's features. Open-faced brown brick walls, raked ceilings, exposed beams, split levels - totally yuk! However, it's inherent design is great & the location amazing - tucked behind a wonderful old laurel hedge in a quiet country lane in the heart of gorgeous Stirling.
